In the United States,most pharmacy schools require atleast 68 credits before admission. These are for the most part,specific prerequisites in subjects like Biology, Chemistry , Maths etc(some community colleges across the country have set up pre-pharmacy cirriculums). After prerequisites, then you can apply to an accredited pharmacy school which takes about four years to complete. So in all, becoming a pharmacist(Pharm.D) in the US takes roughly 6 years.Hope that helped.:o) -Prospective Pharmacist
to obtain any bachelors degree, it takes 4-6 years.
He has a bachelors degree in English from California State University at Long Beach.
2 years, if you already have a Bachelors.
A bachelors degree typically takes four years to complete, it can take longer depending on how long a student takes to complete curriculum requirements.
Typically, the bachelors degree is designed to be a four year program of study provided the student takes the program as prescribed by the institution.
The bachelors degree it designed as a four year program of study as a full-time student, and provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university.
Normally, it takes 4 years to get a bachelors degree.
The bachelors degree is designed to be a four year program of study, provided the student takes the program as prescribed by the college or university.
Typically, if you are transferring to a four year institution, taking the same program of study, it should take an additional two years. However, how many credits are transferred toward the bachelors is always dependent on the receiving institution.
If you are transferring within the same field, it typically takes two additional years provided you continue your program of study as prescribed by the college or university.
In the US, a pharmacy degree has always been a five- or six-year degree which begins right after high-school. So, then, a bachelors degree, first, typically isn't necessary. In the old days, it was a typically six-year-long "Bachelor of Pharmacy" or "Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy" degree; but the accreditor of all the pharmacy schools has changed the nomenclature such that it's now called a "Doctor of Pharmacy" (PharmD) degree. It is, however, a professional, and not an academic degree, and so it's not really at the academic doctoral level. It is, in fact, four years of undergraduate, or undergraduate-plus-post-baccalaureate-level study that begins immediately after a two-year academic associates degree. So, then, it's not an academic four-year bachelors degree that one needs before entering pharmacy school; but, rather, an academic two-year associates degree... ...then, from there, one enters the four-year "PharmD" program. A full six-year "PharmD" program may be entered right out of high school; or one may get one's associates degree (or finish the freshman and sophomore years of a bachelors degree) and then enter the four-year "PharmD" program. Either way will work. Of course, some people don't like the idea of never having gotten a proper bachelors degree before getting the PharmD degree. In that case, then, yes, one goes ahead and gets one's bachelors degree... on pretty much anything, really; and then, from there, depending on the pharmacy schoool, one gets an either three- or four-year-long PharmD degree. If one is absolutely certain that one will only ever be a pharmacist in life, then not getting a bachelors can work fine. But on the off-chance that one may end-up not becoming a pharmacist (or one quits pharmacy) after all in life, one really needs a bachelors degree to even get the kind of job that, twenty five years ago, a person with only an associates degree -- or maybe even only a high school diploma -- could get. So, bottom line, I always recommend getting the bachelors, no matter what. Just take the four years to get that first; and then, after that, enter whatever PharmD program one wants to enter... ...but that's just me. The bottom line is that a person may become a pharmacist, with a "PharmD" degree, six years after graduating from high school if one wants.
usually 4-5 years
Usually a bachelors degree is a four year program.
